New windows may come to mind to be about as exciting as fixing the roof. But the comfort and beauty of a window can be easily taken for granted like a breath of fresh air. And that is exactly what they can provide in the home. It’s no surprise that increasing natural light is often one of the most frequent considerations in a home renovation. The stunning new windows in this four bedroom home in Winnipeg, Manitoba provide more than just light and openness. Taking advantage of its on-the-lake locale, the windows truly make the house.
After a series of consultations and education in window technology and design with the client, Polar Ray-O-Max Windows Canada was given the go ahead. This project was not for the weak at heart. The team took on the challenge with eager minds as there were some unique features to incorporate including: etched glass, a customized door entrance system, oversized round tops, large transoms, and exquisite grill work. The power performance of the windows was not overlooked and the homeowners can enjoy an open view with the ambience they desired.
